“Twas the Night Before School Starts

Aug 16

’Twas the night before school startsAnd I. Can’t. Even.Contain my excitementBecause they’re all finally LEAVIN’!Lunch boxes, backpacks, and shoes by the doorFilling summer days with fun my job is no moreThey’re all finally in bed- bathed, brushed, and sleepyWhile I’m over here feeling anything but weepyMom is so ready to finally get peaceThe messes, the meals, they’re about to just cease

We boated, we swam, we drove and took tripsWe’ve milk-shaked, and grilled and ate our body weight in chips

Summer was full of fun, pools, and sunBut now I just need it to really be doneIt’s time for some structure, some routine and some mathand for mom to relax in a nice quiet bathWhen the alarm strikes tomorrow, the kids they must goThere’s history and science and lessons to knowOf course I will miss all these kids and the happyI will try not to think about memories and be sappyInstead I will grin because summer, that’s a wrapAnd now I can finally relax and take a NAP.So off you go kids, and have a great dayWe both need this break, until roughly next May!
